Tried it in 3D, woooow. Looks great, just a few shadows that don't look right. Can't wait for nVidia to release a true profile for it.

Imo, it should already have a profile, since it's 3d ready, but nvidia has been slow lately when it comes to that.

First thing I notice is the gamepad controls... How are the controls with a KB and mouse?

Nah, there isn't even an SLI profile in the latest beta drivers.

never even try with a gamepad. Works great for me with m/k but so did AC2.

Indeed. I played all AC on PC with KB & Mouse. Works great.
Played the first one on 360 with a pad and that was ok as well though.

Peoples-Agent, did you use the AC2 SLI profile (HEX value)?

Yeah, that's the one. Tons of other games appear to use it too. Dragon Age Origins, Homefront etc

Ok thanks.

Well, the Steam release just got pushed back another day. I won't be able to play this with SLI and in Surround for the next month. By then nV will have a profile anyway ;)

I'm betting the 22nd March drivers will have one to coincide with the 590 launch.

nice screenshot but I think I'll pass on this as well as AC2. I still feel burned out after forcing myself to beat AC1, the most boring game of all time

It's your loss, ac2 and this standalone expansions are much better games than the flawed ac1.

They f'ed up with the lame mouse acceleration again. How can you not get the default controls to work properly for the respective platform? Do they do this on purpose or something?

Good to hear performance is good in this one. AC2's framerate seemed to not increase no matter how good your hardware was.

Awesome thread and awesome news. I came to AC2 late after being a little bummed with AC1, when I finally played AC2 earlier this year I was blown away. Loved it. I completed all quests and finished with a 100% save. I never do that, not even with GTA games. Was a little annoyed with the frame cap, but I got used to it. Wasn't as bad as The Force Unleashed.

I'm glad this is a good port, I was hoping to play today, but Steam bumped the release back to the 19th (I imagine it will keep going back until the 23rd ::(: ) I could trick it with a proxy, but I can wait. Finish DA2 first.

I'm hoping this releases with Eyefinity/Surround multimonitor capability. AC2 required a patch to get the game to run at those resolutions. The cityscapes of AC2 were pretty breathtaking in Surround.

Got the "Digital Deluxe" version on Steam. Some DLC just came out for the console versions. Will Ubisoft throw us a bone here like in AC2 and include them for free on the PC version?

The da vinci disappearance is included in the pc version.

Eyefinity support is also in the game from the start.

I'm installing now. It's days like this that I wish it was pre loaded. Steam is slow for me this morning.

I played AC2 for about 10 minutes and got bored. :/

does it take a while to get good? It's one of those that I bought after all the hype but it didn't instantly suck me in so I immediately kicked it to the curb in favor of other games. Hell.... I've got more games that I havne't played sitting in steam than I know what to do with. :(

the problem i had is you just hold two buttons and any direction you want and you basically traverse the whole city to anywhere you want. It was mindless. Apparently this is more interesting tho

No. Its full standalone game, even longer than AC2. They just did not nemed it AC3 becouse it doesnt fulfill the story so much. But its Best AC so far(If You like that Rome theme that is)
